New featuresHellOw,
Our developers have something to tell you!
Every three weeks, approximately, our devs will provide you with information about their work in the “Dev’s Corner.”
This topic is a way of keeping everyone updated on what’s happening with the game. We invite you to discuss and leave your feedback for each of the publications.
Note: All posts must adhere to the forum guidelines and be constructive.
Take a look at our Devs' Corner here!
Warm wishes,

Not to mention clearly trying to shove the VIP account on everyone.
How are they doing this?
I mean, it's definitely an option, and it's definitely a very good option...I hate playing as a non-VIP because I've become accustomed to auto-feed/auto-comp plus I need the uni perk...I'm currently non-VIP as I'm not playing very actively/can't justify paying for something I'm not really using regularly. But they don't really push it on you...

Here's an idea that, if used, might satisfy many players if not all of them...
Allow a "skip" for Daily Objectives the way we have a "skip" for voting on new coats and backdrops.
When we vote on creations, we have 50 votes per day and can "skip" three times.
What if Daily Objectives allowed 1-2 "skips" per week? You get one you don't like or want to do, you click "skip" and get a new one.
If Daily Objectives allowed 1-2 "skips" per week, maybe that would allow people who really hate removing wings and horns and WoYs to still have a chance (though not a guarantee) to complete the week and get the HOP. This also would help out newer players with ones like the "get the color bonus" ones, which some of them might be able to do easily, and others not so much.
At the same time, a maximum of two "skips" per week would not (hopefully) make it "too easy" to complete the week's objectives, since they should be at least a little bit of a challenge and not a "given".
Of course, there would still be the chance of seeing the skipped objective pop up again later in the week, but that comes down to using "skips" wisely, not totally unlike using them in voting for creations.
It's a thought. It still wouldn't make Daily Objectives so easy that they'd just be a "given".
Now this idea I do like.
I'm sure it wouldn't stop the complaints about de-winging/de-horning/removing WOY, but at least there'd be another option. 

- 2020-08-11This may be an old change that i'm just now noticing but i feel it fits with the theme of the unnecessary changes being made, and i haven't been able to find it mentioned elsewhere. Can anyone tell me why the Gypsy Vanner is now called simply Vanner? And are any other breed's names now altered as well? If so, any ideas why? One of my favorite sayings is if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

There is a long discussion in the New Features on Howrse topic. Zowey gives a nice explanation on page 5. The name was very much broke in my opinion so glad it was changed. - 2020-08-11Oh ok, thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction!
As usual, i'm a late arrival lol. - 2020-08-14I've not been real attentive to game lately. I'm wondering if Howrse is working on the graphics for horses. When I go into my farms the little icons of my horses are alittle fuzzy, but the saddle and other amenities are nice and crisp. Also, horses with GAs and the divine icons are crisp and clear.
Is it because they added saddles to the regular horse icons? Are they going to clear them up? - 2020-08-25Really Howrse? What was the *point* behind forcing avatars to be circles? I literally have never heard *anyone* complain about the avatars. Now, everyone I have talked to is complaining about this change. It is absolutely pointless and infuriating all around.

I'm sure it wouldn't stop the complaints about de-winging/de-horning/removing WOY, but at least there'd be another option.
